Matt Dea [merged]

[10 FLAGS]

struggling at this stage of the proceedings IMHO.

[Jackstar is back again]

Is completely useless.waste of space.some one should teach him to actually stand up first.I sat on the fence tonight and the amount of arguing between him.lids.rance and Posty was a disgrace..please don't anyone here tell me Dea can play.as he simply CANT

[WilliamPowell]

Was completely lost out there tonight

Felt for young Rance (again) very little support from his other backmane tonight

Dea's problem is he isn't a good reader of the play and is too slow in his decision making...just like Post

[wayne]

I've just pulled the STOP cable on his bandwagon... I want to get off 

[10 FLAGS]

Rance trying to play on 3 blokes because the likes of Dea and Post havent got a clue is pretty unfair on the lad. Rance put in another very decent effort tonight IMHO.

Posties stats aren't too bad out of that game.  Dea had a real stinker, needs to get on top of where he needs to be.

Stats can be soooooooooooooooooo mis-leading Owl...he's is just too slow inthe decision making department that he ends up putting his teammante under too much pressure

As I said tough decisions need to be made

[Owl]

fair call.  do you reckon he has no future in any position at all?  Or can he be turned around like a lot of our talls that took some time?

I would like to say YES I really would

But honestly my answer is NOPE

The only place I can see him being better and I use that term loosely is as a forward and I don't think there is a postion in our F50 for him because the few times he played there in the last 2 seasons he's got in the way of Jack, which brings up anothe of his other weaknesses - bad reader of the play

I am amazed that we even drafted him

Post is just someone our supporters liked because they thought he looked like Richo. Post should be put up for trade and if theres a taker we should take a deal otherwise he can stay on the list for another 12 months before he too gets delisted.

Im going to go against the grain and give him another pre season and full season. Its hard enough being a young fella playing afl - game is so damn quick that only the elite juniors stand up early, the rest take a good 30-40 games, add to that Dea's been injured for a lot of the season he'd be nowhere near sharp enough, not surprising at all that he goes to ground and gets covered so quickly. Full pre season, and ill judge next season.

Dea cannot play.don't waste your time RFC.can tell you spray that Rance and Lids gave him wasn't good

Look tony_montana, not a doubt in my mind that Dea will get another contract.. the club rate him and I really hope that he proves those of us who don't think he's up to it wrong

But based on the handfull of games he has played I just cannot see it happening ... sadly

I remember people saying "Post will be a good player who can play back and forward, maybe even on the wing like Richo" We do get a bit excited at times...

still have hope for Post but he needs to get a move on next season
